Re the above, I've seen a clapped out old Mk1 Mondeo as part of an unmarked convoy going over Tower Bridge a few weeks ago - It was along with the usual suspects, i.e. 17 Plate unmarked Skoda Octavia estate, but did stand out as a bit of an old car for the police to be running - Stealthy though!
To Central London and back on Sunday. My Knob-Obs such as: Vehicles still pulling in too close after an overtake.
Jumping red lights is epidemic.
Cyclists in dark clothing doing the above with contempt.
Overtaken at 90 plus only for the driver to make an emergency stop to avoid the highly visible blues
and twos of a police car blocking lane one.
I was honked twice from behind for observing and waiting at a red light.

Lucky it was just the driving offense he was prosecuted for.

Every consequence or reaction has a reason or action that prompts it.Were you sat in the middle lane on cruise control with nothing immediately to your left again?
When people report the same sort of behaviour, its the usual reason.

Most of the time I was in lane three with cars undertaking me. I began to wonder who all those headlight flashes were aimed at. Yes, me! That was when I moved over to the middle lane for the rest of the journey. I was thankful for less flashing in that position.
Apart from that, the trip was uneventful.
The Knobs seem to have been out in force lately. I was approaching a mini roundabout, indicating to make a left turn at the roundabout. Approaching the roundabout in the opposite direction was a car which was also indicating left. I turned left at the roundabout, at which point the car coming from the opposite direction then proceeded to turn right at the roundabout towards me STILL with its left indicator flashing. at this point the driver of the car started tooting his horn at me. If I do a bad I almost always hold my hand up and apologize for it, but to be tooted at by a knob who turns right when his left hand indicator is flashing does start to really annoy me. Fortunately there was no contact, and unusually for me because I rarely use it, I had a dash cam running, which clearly showed said knob approaching the roundabout with his left hand indicator flashing. If contact had been made, I wonder what the knob and more importantly the insurance companies would have made of it?
The next knob however was even more amazing, I was following him on a busy NSL B road, at which point he stopped dead in the middle of the carriageway, and started to re program his satnav in front of me. At first I could not quite believe what he had done, and was a bit dumbfounded, that anyone could do something so blatantly stupid, but when I recovered I gave him a good blast of the horn to let him know that there was a line of cars built up behind him, and even then he just sat there still pecking away at his satnav. Be careful out there the Knob force seems to be powerful at the moment.

Travelling Northbound on the M40 this afternoon just past junction 4. I'm overtaking in the third lane whilst the road bends to the right.
What do I see? A car that, i presume, had broken down parked up against the central reservation. Luckily I had just about completed my overtake and was able to jump back into the middle lane again but it was one hell of a scare. No hazard lights flashing and to top it off the owner was standing IN FRONT of her car on the phone.
I don't know what goes through the brains of some people.
When cars break down on motorways I'm sure they don't just come to an abrupt halt. Why not filter off onto the hard shoulder and why the hell stand IN FRONT of your broken down car in the third lane?

Well. Who wouldn't think it's a good idea to cable tie your own hands to your steering wheel and drive. What a prize t**t.

As a London commuter, I see my share of pedestrians, drivers and cyclists all doing stupid things. I have nothing against any of these groups, I think they're all a capable and incapable as each other.
Today though, I had a stand out incident by one lycra clad office boy on his bike early this morning though. I am crossing the road, no cars coming cyclist is way back as I start crossing the road. I don't walk slowly anyway so I'm just about to step onto the kerb when Mr Lycra comes round the corner.
Now bearing in mind there's no other traffic around us and I'm virtually on the kerb so why does this moron aim at me. I hear him mouth something, turn round and exchange morning greetings and off he scurries.
Completely engineered the situation as if he had just continued round behind, which would have required no sudden change in direction, it would have been a non-event!

You'd give the bumper a good kick to set the airbag off wouldn't you? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-46903...
Sorry you have compound fractures to both arms. It was only a prank.
For years locals have been campaigning for the speed limit to be reduced on that road. Then the day after this...

...happens new 50mph zone and cameras announced.
If you want the speed limit reduced in your neighborhood ask Prince Philip to crash there.

Can I add to the list of drivers to avoid that has emerged on PH over the years. We have had Chav-platers, badly modified cars and my own last addition, drivers with mirrored sunglasses.
After a couple of sightings of poor driving may I present, drivers in the small type white van, with no livery, but wearing a bobble hat. This is now a sure sign of one to avoid.

If it makes you feel any better, they may not have been honking at you: I saw someone drive through a red light on a roundabout, and (stupidly) honked to register my disapproval. Unfortunately, there was a car between me and the "knob", who presumed my honk was for them so hurriedly drove through the red light.Unintentional bellendry on my part - the worst kind of bellendry. I consoled myself by driving at 70 in the middle lane of the M1 for the rest of the journey.
